archivist and rare book librarian. Her free time is spent being a single mom, wrangling an ever-fluctuating number of pets, fixing up her old house, reading, knitting, cooking, gardening and generally making all kinds of stuff.
James's new novel is The Grump Whisperer.
At The Nerd Daily she tagged five favorite books that feature "an immersive equestrian experience" the way horse girl children’s books do, but "include adult characters, themes, romance, and perspectives." One title on her list:
Pony Confidential by Christina LynchRead about another book on the list.
Listen. Sometimes you read a book and you just know that it will stay with you forever. Pony Confidential is not a romance. No, it’s a murder mystery told in dual POV. The POVs in question being that of a woman accused of murder, and… her childhood pony. And not just any pony, but a pony so furious about the way he’s been treated that he only wants one thing: revenge. This book is both a love letter to former horse girls and their beloved ponies, and a clear-eyed, heart-wrenching examination of animal—and human—welfare. I cried at least twice, and laughed out loud more times than I can count. You’re welcome.
